<h4>Major/minor tick collisions<a class="headerlink" href="#major-minor-tick-collisions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Minor ticks that collide with major ticks are now hidden by default.
Previously, certain locator classes (<a class="reference internal" href="ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.LogLocator" title="matplotlib.ticker.LogLocator"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LogLocator</span></code></a>,

tick locations that collided with major ticks when they were used as
minor locators. This logic has now moved to the <a class="reference internal" href="axis_api.html#matplotlib.axis.Axis" title="matplotlib.axis.Axis"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axis</span></code></a> class,
and is used regardless of the locator class. You can control this
behavior via the <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">remove_overlaping_locs</span></code> attribute on
<a class="reference internal" href="axis_api.html#matplotlib.axis.Axis" title="matplotlib.axis.Axis"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axis</span></code></a>.</p>
